"Kakashi this is the best way, he will most likely have chakra suppression seals, and no offense but without chakra, I think I'm the strongest. You both rely on jutsu more than I do. I'll use a transformation seal." Naruto explained.
"I don't want you as a sitting duck target. You'll be sealed and bound, he'll probably beat on you too, and there'll be nothing you can do." Kakashi told his surrogate son.
"I can take a beating. He won't do much, it would piss off Kabuto too much. This is the only way we have to save my mother and get to Orochimaru and end that piece of shit, and his fucked-up sidekick." Naruto told Kakashi.
Kakashi growled, "Naruto I don't think you're thinking this through completely. Kabuto will have you for at least 30 minutes before we will be able to get to you."
"It's my mom Kakashi, we have a chance to save her." Naruto argued.
"What if she isn't there?" Jiraiya asked, finally speaking up.
"That's a risk I'm willing to take." Naruto told them both firmly.
"What if we aren't?" Kakashi asked.
Naruto's fist clenched in anger, "I have to do this Kakashi. I'm going to do this, with your help or not."
"Easy Naruto, we aren't saying we won't help, but we want you to know the risk involved, and it's a lot of risk, for a slim chance. Trust me here, we want to save Kushina too. She means the world to the both of us, but I've been looking for her for a while now, and every base I think she's in, she ends up not being there." Jiraiya told the blonde ninja.
"We have to try, please Jiraiya, Kakashi, you guys have to understand, she's my mother, she needs me. I can't not take this chance, no matter how risky it is to me." Naruto told them, begging them to understand.
…
Hinata groaned, her alarm went off at 4 am. She sighed as she shut it off, it felt like she had just fallen asleep. She pushed herself up, not having gotten any sleep the previous night. She rolled out of bed and stumbled into her bathroom, it was still dark out, but she had to get ready. She turned the dial for the shower and heard it start. She waited a minute for it to turn hot and climbed in. She thought to the day before while she let the water cascade down her body, wetting her hair first as she slumped against the wall.
She bit her lip at the thought of her new trainers, Zabuza, Tsunade, and Anko. She had worked with Tsunade before, Anko as well, but they were all mad at her. Naruto had abandoned her, the only reason she was out of bed, was to stay out of a prison cell. Her tears mixed with the water from the shower. She wasn't sure how to deal with this, yes Naruto had gone to save Kushina. Why wouldn't he take her though? Why did he abandon her to do it? Her fist clenched as she let out a long suffering sigh. Finally washing herself and getting out of the shower, she walked into her room and got dressed.
She walked out the front door as Tsunade was walking up the walkway. "Are you ready for day one Hinata?"
Hinata shrugged, not really caring, but it seemed to tick Tsunade off as she glared at the younger woman. "Hinata your attitude about this whole thing will be a large determinant of if you get to stay a ninja, if you get to stay out of a prison cell. So how about looking at all of this as a way to get onto my good side, and you get to train with some of the best ninja in the village. You should consider yourself lucky to train with Zabuza, and Anko, let alone myself, the Hokage."
Hinata nodded, "I'm sorry, it isn't about you, Naruto abandoned me, and I'm pretty sure he broke up with me too. I'm not seeing much of a point to any of this. I'm doing this merely as a way to stay out of a cell."
"Hinata, Naruto didn't break up with you, and even if he did that isn't a reason to stop living." Tsunade told her.
"He didn't even say goodbye to me. He just left." Hinata told her coldly, "Can we please start training, I want to be stronger."
Tsunade shook her head but sighed, "You won't enjoy my training like you do Naruto's. He's way too soft with you. I've watched the sparring sessions the two of you too have, he never actually hits you, he always holds back. You won't have that from me."
Hinata nodded, "I'll be fine." She told Tsunade confidently.
…
Jiriaya and Kakashi jumped through the trees, following the trail of the man they had let go. Kakashi sighed, he really didn't like this plan, it left Naruto nearly defenseless. Kakashi thought back to what had happened earlier.
Naruto had used a seal to transform himself to look like Hinata, they staged the second captive escaping, Kakashi had transformed into Naruto, and used a genjutsu to allow the man to think he had escaped and killed Naruto, then he slapped a chakra suppression seal onto the transformed Naruto, who was already bound like Hinata had been earlier. The man had taken the bait and took 'Hinata' running from the place laughing to himself. He actual thought he had gotten away with it.
Neither Kakashi nor Jiriaya were happy with how the man had handled Naruto, giving him quite the beating as he was transformed into Hinata. Yet they followed without intervening as per the plan.
Finally, they arrived at a base, but it had already been torn through, the man started to freak out, he threw 'Hinata' onto the ground and looked around, the base had already been ransacked. He ran inside and started to curse, bodies were everywhere on the ground, blood soaked the floor.
Naruto took his ziptied hands and brought them down towards his body, snapping the zip ties with ease as he ripped the chakra seal off, he summoned Kitsune to his hand and channeling wind chakra into his sword he cut the shackles on his ankles and released the transformation seal, he rushed into the base, something was wrong, and his mom could be in there. He ran in and was shocked by what he saw, men everywhere, dead. Soldiers leaking blood everywhere. He cursed, closing his eyes and extending his senses, there wasn't much alive in this place, he could only sense a few alive. He cursed as he appeared next to his prior captive, chopping him in the back of the neck, knocking him out immediately. Naruto bound him and walked further into the decimated base. He sighed, so much death and destruction.
Kakashi and Jiraiya followed in not soon after, calling for Naruto, they didn't want him wandering around this place alone, who knew what traps were around.
Naruto flashed next to them out of nowhere, "Guys, I found Orochimaru. Kabuto isn't here, neither is my mom."
…
Hinata grunted as she held her ribs, pretty sure they were broken, she tried to climb to her feet only to collapse to the ground again, gritting her teeth in pain. "Get up." Tsunade demanded of her, "You surely aren't done yet are you? You thought yourself more capable than Naruto if you were questioning his orders, he sure as hell wouldn't be on the ground yet, let alone done."
"I-I don't think myself more capable than Naruto. That isn't it at all." Hinata grunted out.
"It sure as hell seems like it! If you can talk, you sure as hell can stand up, now get up." Tsunade told her, "You question one of MY jonin, you question me. Are you more capable than me as well?"
"NO!" Hinata shouted at her, covering her mouth afterwards.
"You better stand up Hinata. NOW." Tsunade told her.
Hinata slowly stood up, and got into her stance, sliding her right foot back and readying herself. "Lady Tsunade, how much more of this am I to take?"
Tsunade growled, "This is what a real spar feels like. This is what it felt like to Naruto when you landed hits on him, he held back and never hurt you. This is what it feels like when your opponent isn't head over heels for you."
Hinata frowned, "Yes my Lady." She said with no emotion in her voice. However, Tsunade was next to her immediately, burying her fist in Hinata's gut. Hinata doubled over, and Tsunade clasped her hands above her head and brought a hammer fist down on her back. Hinata hit the ground hard.
"Never let your guard down. I would have thought Naruto taught you that. Now get up." Tsunade told her coldly. "Maybe you weren't ready to go on missions yet if you don't know the simplest of rules for a ninja."
Hinata struggled to get up, but fell back down into the dirt, "D-don't talk bad about Naruto. He taught me that."
"Shut up and get out of the dirt." Tsunade told her.
Hinata tried again, but fell again, she had taken too much damage from Tsunade. "I-I can't!" Hinata told her.
Tsunade growled, "We clearly have work to do, you have no idea how to take a hit. We'll work on that."
"T-That isn't true. I can take hits. I've taken more physical pain than you can imagine." Hinata told her.
"Having been put through torture while strapped down and learning how to keep fighting after taking a big hit are completely different." Tsunade told her, "If you were so good at taking it, you would still be on your feet."
Hinata didn't know what to say, so Tsunade went on, her voice softening, "You've been through a lot of shit, I won't deny that, but you have to realize that doesn't make you an expert ninja. Nor does it mean that you have the right to ignore an order because you don't like it. I'm not saying you have to follow every order, but every decision has a consequence, this punishment, and if Naruto were to break up with you, it would be a consequence of your actions and decisions."
Hinata was again at a loss for words, unable to say anything else. "Why don't you heal yourself, you will be escorted by my ANBU back home. You have a break from training until Zabuza picks you up. Don't keep him waiting. Work hard." With that Tsunade lifted the girl onto her feet and left. Hinata turned and walked home. Healing her injuries as she did. She hated the break though, it just gave her time to think about her mistakes. She had done so much wrong. There was no way Naruto could possibly still love her. She let the tears building up in her eyes fall as she continued to think this way.
…
Naruto flashed Kakashi and Jiraiya into a room in the hideout. The white snake was laying heaped in the corner, barely breathing. The trio appeared in the room, the snake was bleeding to death. Kakashi snarled as he grabbed the snake, slamming him into the wall. "What happened here?"
"That bastard Sasuke, he betrayed me." Orochimaru coughed out.
"Where's my mom?" Naruto asked him.
"Sasuke took her with him to my knowledge." Orochimaru told him.
"What about Kabuto? Is he dead?" Kakashi asked.
"No, he went to head to your village, he wanted to scout, see if he could get in any way, wait for our pet when the two of you got home. I doubt he made it there though, he would have gotten the distress seal I activated. He won't come here." Orochimaru told them grinning like a maniac.
Naruto growled, "He wouldn't be able to get close to her. Getting inside the village would be impossible for him. Then he would have to get past my seals, and that just isn't happening."
"Your cockiness will lead to your downfall." Orochimaru told him shrugging.
Naruto growled again, "Why did you take Hinata?"
Orochimaru laughed weakly, "Why should I tell you that?"
"Why did you tell us anything?" Jiraiya asked him.
"Because we're old friends?" Orochimaru laughed at him.
"Shut the hell up, you just want to figure out how all of this will play out. That's always been your schtick." Kakashi told him.
Orochimaru grinned, "Very well, I wanted to study the Byakugan, Kabuto wanted a pet. Two birds, one stone with that weak bitch."
Naruto growled, "How and why did you take my mother?"
Orochimaru laughed, "I want to keep that my secret."
Naruto scowled at him, "You fucking dirty snake bastard, just tell me."
"Do you really want to know boy? I think you would rather prefer I don't tell you." Orochimaru told him, "why don't I tell you in detail about my torture sessions with Hinata? What Kabuto is going to do to her when he gets her back here." The snake taunted him.
Naruto growled, steeling himself, hitting the snake would just be playing into his hand, it wouldn't bother the bastard no matter how hard he hit him. "Uh oh, touched a nerve, did I?"
"If you want to talk about hitting a nerve, just asked Kabuto's mutt what nerves I hit on her when I strung her up like a meat carcass, ask her where I touched her, what I did to her." Orochimaru hissed back.
Naruto's eyes turned dark, a flame of hatred burned in them, Orochimaru saw it and grinned. "Ah you saw the pictures, didn't you?"
"Fuck you. What you did to her was disgusting. It was inhuman, you sadist piece of shit." Naruto growled out.
Orochimaru laughed, "Don't act like you didn't enjoy seeing her like that. You're just jealous I've touched her, and you haven't."
Naruto growled, "Just answer my damn question Snake. Why the hell would you take my mother. What did she ever do to you?"
Orochimaru laughed, "She never did anything to me, in fact she was actually always kind to me, she treated me with respect."
"Then why on earth would you take her? Why have you tortured her for years?" Naruto asked him, anger heavy in his voice.
"Jiraiya might know the answer now." Orochimaru goaded Naruto further by not telling him.
"You were passed up for fourth Hokage for Minato, her husband. You fucking bastard, you took her to get back at Minato. You sick fuck." Jiriaya said utterly disgusted.
"You're not as stupid as you look. Yes, the night of your birth I was in the village, I saw your mother and Minato fighting the 9 tails, trying to save you from its rage. They fought so hard, Minato was already dead, he had given his soul to the Reaper Death Seal, to seal the fox in you. The fox still wouldn't stop, she tried to stab you, your parents got in the way stopping it. Your mother should have died laying next to your father, in his arms, but I took her. Leaving a body decoy with your father to be buried, no one would know she was missing. Using my…" Orochimaru grinned sickly, "Skills, I was able to revive her and took her memories, she was mine. I beat her and tortured her to get back at Minato. He took everything I wanted. Then Jiriaya, you and that old fool kicked me out of the village, it was even more reason to take it out on her. Jiraiya, I know how much you cared for those two, Minato your student and his beloved. I took it out on her, I've been using her for years now." The snake told them grinning.
Kakashi gritted his teeth, Naruto stepped up to end the man, but Jiraiya stopped them both, "Where did Sasuke go?"
"Probably to one of my other bases, he had some team members he wanted to recruit. He'll build up resources, then start hunting Itachi. Rumor is Itachi is ripe for the killing too, his health is out of sorts. I know Hanara is powerful, but she can't take on a team of my elites." Orochimaru told them. "The locations of my bases are in my operations room. Go ahead, end Sasuke."
Kakashi looked at Naruto and Jiraiya, they both nodded, Kakashi grabbed his head and channeled a lightning blade to his hand. Orochimaru's head blew up, killing him instantly. Kakashi dropped Orochimaru's corpse and closed his hand around the electric ball in his hand. He looked back at his two companions, "Fuck, that felt good."
…
Hinata gasped in breaths as she tried to dodge yet another blunted kunai. It couldn't kill her, but they really hurt. She was heavily bruised already, having been hit by plenty of them. She wasn't allowed to activate her Byakugan, but had to try to sense the kunai through the mist. Zabuza was training her to use her other senses and not rely on her eyes. She grunted as a blunted kunai came from her right side and hit her in ribs. Zabuza appeared next to her, she fired a fist at him, but he caught it and threw her over his shoulder, slamming her into the ground. She laid there trying to recover, that throw had knocked the air out of her lungs.
"Get up." Zabuza told her.
"You know, if you want me to put up a fight against you, I need my eyes so I can use my fighting technique." Hinata spat back at him.
Zabuza grabbed her and lifted her up, "Do you see me using a sword? More importantly my sword? A Ninja has to have many fighting styles. Taijutsu is essential for ninjas, if you were to fight someone who completely countered your gentlefist, what would you do? Wait for Naruto to save you?"
Hinata glared at him, "Fine, whatever just continue to beat on me."
"UGH you really don't get it do you?" Zabuza asked.
"What do I not get?" Hinata asked.
"The point of this whole thing. This training. You don't understand why we are doing it. First off none of us are doing this to you, we're all here doing this for Naruto. Trying to help you so you don't end up dead. You don't follow orders, when you get smacked down and I say get up, don't talk back to me, stand on your feet and fight. When I give you an order, you follow." Zabuza told her.
"You're done here. We're going on a mission with Anko and Haku. Let's go." Zabuza told her.
"Shouldn't I get my mission stuff? My gear?" Hinata asked him.
"I just explained the point of this whole thing to you, didn't I?" Then you go and question me. It won't be a long mission." Zabuza told her angrily.
Hinata just nodded and sighed, "Sorry Zabuza sensei." She told him sadly, "I won't question you again."
"Look kid, I know this is tough, but you just gotta weather it. Follow orders and do your job and things will go back to normal in no time." Zabuza told her.
"Can I ask you what normal is? From my experience nothing ever goes back to the way it was once something has changed." Hinata asked Zabuza sadly.
"You make a good point, once things change they don't go back, but what are you really asking here? Career wise you will go back to being a normal ninja, not on this schedule with threat of imprisonment. However, if you're asking about your relationship with Naruto, well no that probably won't be the same." Zabuza told her.
Hinata frowned and followed Zabuza, they met up with Anko and Haku and headed for the gate. They had been walking for about an hour when out of nowhere everything changed, she heard it coming, jumping out of the way, she and Haku were both able to dodge, but Kunai struck through Zabuza, and Anko, both head shots, both of them fell down to the ground, dead.
